Fade a light from 50% not 100%

📐 Rule Machine®

I have a rule which fades a light at 10pm. Works great except that the light when turned on is set to 50% so when the fade starts at 10pm the light first jumps to 100% before the fade begins. Is there a way to get the fade to start from the brightness of the light as it is when the fade rule begins?

Thanks

Could you post a screenshot of post your rule?

Set the light to 50 first and then do the fade.

Typically when dimmer are turned on they will turn on at the last setting when they were turned off.

I did notice that in the latest Zooz FW they have the option of turning on at the last setting of a preset level. Haven’t played with that option yet.
